This recipe is one of my all time favorites but honey is not on the original list of ingredients. I’ve worked to get the right proportions as I needed honey to be included, not only because I knew it would work and taste fantastic, but I wanted to share the recipe with you. While it is a delicious bread without honey, adding honey creates an even more moist and luscious bread. It delivers a crisp citrus tang along with a gooey sweetness from the honey. The killer is the lemon glaze that is poured over the hot bread. It soaks into the bread making an extremely moist crumb and crisps up around the edges adding that crunch I love so much . It’s sweet bread perfection!
Enjoy!

I can’t wait to try this using my own honey….Your posts and experiences have kicked me off center and I will become a real bee keeper on June 13th when I pickup my four frame Nuc and queen for my hive. Thanks and keep up the excellent work
The Orange Bee says
Wow – that is great. I hope you will love your girls as much as I’ve loved mine and enjoy the experience. I am getting a package of bees in a couple of weeks too, so that I can start up here in N.C.. I’m pretty excited and so happy to hear you are also taking up this fantastic hobby! Good luck and keep me posted on your adventures!
